http://timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=732745 The article does not go too deep into detail about what exactly happened. It sounds like permissions were allowing a student to access an employee file with sensitive data within it, DL numbers, SS#s, etc. The student then emailed his principle "saying he had the database." Has it how? Like he can access the file or has a copy? Apparently the student used two passwords, perhaps another student's, to access the info. This something that should be looked at and is almost for sure a violation of policy, but looking around into what files he had access to? I dunno it sounds like the kid pointed out a bad situation and got in trouble from it.
